Woofer posted:When I worked at Publix they made sure to tell us how important it is for liability reasons that we throw food out at the end of every day. We would clear out the bread aisle with enough to feed a family for a year. poo poo was depressing. I've read of places that will even do poo poo like spray bleach on the food they're throwing away like that because people who have no other option would dumpster dive to, ya know, not starve. Like AreWeDrunkYet said the idea of others getting that food so offends the system of capitalism that it's preferable to destroy the food AND have them starve than fix the problem without profiting off if it.

Carloads of oranges dumped on the ground. The people came for miles to take the fruit, but this could not be. How would they buy oranges at twenty cents a dozen if they could drive out and pick them up? And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and they are angry at the crime, angry at the people who have come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the fruit–and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains.

This whole timeline is making me wish I had a weed hook-up for the weekend, especially since I'm now basically driving only once per week when I don't have any validation testing scheduled. Driving comically-overpowered vehicles in the last two months has also developed in me this even more strenuous respect for not even having a beer the night before I have testing scheduled. Like, legit pilot protocols. Having a 2.6 ton vehicle with 530 hp break out on you because of a surprise-DSC-failure will do that. I wasn't a fan of massive cars to begin with, now I have even more of a healthy respect for them.

Old Boot posted:I'll stick with my Prius, I think. Yeah, I'm happy with my French hatchback. It's got some issues, but it's served me well like my very first hatchback in 2002. I don't think I'll ever really move away from small-to-medium sized vehicles that offer you everything you need for a bachelor- or non-childhaving-relationship life and can be converted to solid stowing capacity with the flip of two seats. For my next car in 3-5 years, I think I might consider going up a notch for something like a wagon. Maybe a 3 series or Volvo. I'm not a fan of the size, but the step-up in utility is considerable. The amount of different cars I'm driving at work has had me put some thoughts into it. Partially because lol @ those rich people cars, and partially because of the different classes I get to test. Hell, I drove a 2 series GranTourer just this Thursday and it essentially felt like a more expensive Honda Jazz. I liked the capacity and versatility of it while getting a comically good gas mileage, it just felt...odd.

https://twitter.com/AFP/status/1249728782665166851 I really do hope this is the case but I'm not going to breathe a sigh of relief just yet. Also, for you scientician goons- how has that Imperial College study held up so far? https://www.imperial.ac.uk/media/imperial-college/medicine/sph/ide/gida-fellowships/Imperial-College-COVID19-NPI-modelling-16-03-2020.pdf Edit: didn't realize the Cuomo tweet was part of a thread; I'm referring especially to his optimistic take that the curve is flattening in NY.

There are exceptions (and they'll be sure to chime in about how they need to move 10 yards of gravel every other weekend), but for most people occasionally renting a vehicle with more storage is a lot more economical than owning one. Looking at you, 98% of pickup truck drivers.

Tell me if this sounds familiar. Right wing elements of the supposed opposition party not only would rather lose than surrender power, but actively worked to sabotage their party's election chances. Anti-Corbyn Labour officials worked to lose general election to oust leader, leaked dossier finds

We have failed educating people in the US so bad they don't understand viruses so interpreting a graph is probably a bridge too far In graduate school I took a class on data visualization. The teacher was a neuroscientist and she made us read a bunch of studies on how people interpret graphs. People really like fancy graphs, but if you ask them what it means, they fail at basic understanding. The long and short is unless it’s a line graph or bar graph (and not a stacked par graph) the majority of people can’t understand it.

I'm doing this right now and it's definitely completely changed the way I've used graphs and charts. Before it was all about being clever to deliver as much information as possible. Now it's pretty much "deliver one point, and that point has to be covered in neon signs and bells that jingle if it moves; if for some reason you want someone to take away a second piece of information from your graph it better be obvious from space"

There was a post earlier linking to a twitter post about an epidemiologist complaining about people using the wrong graphs and it being misleading. But I rea it and thought, that as a qualified epidemiologist, you are probably the least qualified person to determine what type of graphs are useful to a layman. Unless you're one of the subset to have so often removed yourself from the problem through writing for pop sci and have researched the literature on communications/psychology. To an expert, graph isnt just a supporting evidence, but potentially a descriptive tool that provides all sorts of information. Just like you dont trust your unqualified uncle with a welding torch, they may not see the valuable nuance a scientist may see.
